In presenting the half-serious, half-satirical citation accompanying
the degree, Voorhis read an eloquent description of both President Gould's
academic and scientific career and Carleton, which was described in part as "a
commodious citadel of education" in which Dr. Gould was placed as "the guiding
genius of a sister seat of learning that chooses to remain small and vindicates
that choice superlatively through educational performance second to none.
"Beloved by his students, who have made something of a fetish of his
alleged addiction (at least when on location) to roseate neckwear, when not
raising money for his college or tracking penguins to the ends of the earth, he
is said to be a gardener of sorts and a fairly reputable fisherman, for all of
which we commend him most vigorously."
